On February 20th, 2000, the Coalition of Immokalee Workers and allies began the two-week, 230-mile "March for Dignity, Dialogue, and a Fair Wage" in Ft. Myers...
March 3rd-17th, 2013 - more than a decade later - we will march in a historic return to our roots for the two-week "March for Rights, Respect and Fair Food" from Ft. Myers to Lakeland, Florida!
The Denver Fair Food Committee is launching a "pledge-per-mile" FUNdraiser to send a delegation to Florida!
Click here to make a pledge online! or contact DenverFairFood@gmail.com if you'd like to make a donation in person or by mail!
We will be marching side-by-side with farmworkers for at least 100 miles (some of us will march the full 175 miles)!
When we return, we will have a community report-back with food, music, photos, videos and even a raffle!
We want to provide some FUN incentives for your donation!
